Striking Miners.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 2.-The min
ers in the Springfield district are out on
strike for an advance of wages to 671S
cents per ton. Their wages have been
about 55 cents per ton. Over 1,50O men
are now out. The miners at Peters
burg have also struck. No reports are
received from Barclay and Dawson, but
the miners say the men at those towns
will follow the lead of those at River
ton, who are out. Two organizers have
gone to the southern part of the state
to bring OH strike there if the Colum-
bus scale is not granted, and they ex-
pect to make the stOppage of work gen
eral. The miners claim that the wages
do not afford them support for them
selves and families and that the opera
tors are selling coal to the railroads and
other large consumers at ruinous prices
and cutting wages to the verge of star
yatiOn to make I'D the losses.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 2.-For con-
siderable length of time the officers of
the Detroit City Railway company have
had suspicious that their receipts from
their Congress and Baker street line
were not as large as they should be. An
investigation led to the belief that the
company was being defrauded by a
combination of conductors and drivers.
The company began paying off and dis
charging men supposed to be in the
combination. Twenty-six were dis
posed of in this way. Much to their.
surprise some of the men got intoxi-
Gated and shortly after dark attacked
and severely beat one or two of those
who had taken their places. One team
of horses ran off down the street, caus-
ing terror among the people. The rio-
tiers dispersed just before the police ar
rived. Supt. Barry, of the lines named,
has also been discharged, the company
thinking he should have discovered the
leakage himself.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-Even the Tories are
obliged to admit that John Morley's
speech at Temple Comb Saturday even
ing was brilliant effort. The Tories
are in fact nearly as well pleased as the
Liberals over the manner in which Mr..
Morley handled Mr.. Chamberlain. The
rmingham politician is we'll nigh an
lshmaelite among statesmen at present.
He is paying the natural penalty of be-
ing all things by turn and nothing long.
Every mans hand is against him. The
passage is Mr.. Morley's speech which
receives most approval was that in
which he declared that a policy of blind,
lndiScriminate, laundering force must
fail, as it would not be permitted by the
justice-loving people of England. There
were 10000 people present at the meet
ing and they displayed much enthusi-
aSm.
The peculiar situation along the
FrancO-German frontier can hardly fail
10 give occasion for more episodes of
an irritating character like the Kauf-
mann and SchnaebeleS incidents, but
the sensible attitude of the two govern
mentS in these cases makes it almost
certain that no such flimsy pretext Will
be allowed to give rise to hostilities.
The general feeling in diplomatic cir
cles has been greatly improved by the
outcome of the recent frontier shooting
affair. The probability of war during
the regime of tie present ministries is
thought to be reduced to the minimum
The agitation among the miners has
spread to Derbyshire, and the workmen
in that district have just held
a conference, at which they de-
cided to petition for the eight
hour day and other improvements
in their lot. SOcialistic ideas are said
to be making rapid progress among the
miners. Heretofore they have been
surprisingly conservative class, prob
ably because, though poorly paid, their
work is tolerably constant. Whatever
may be true of other classes of laborers,
there is no doubt that the English miner
is better off than his American fellow.
The accounts of the condition of miners
now in Pennsylvania, reprinted here
from American papers, have created
surprise, and have furnished rampant
free traders with new argument of
more or less plausibility.

Not in Good Faith.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Aeting Secre-
Secretary Muldrow yesterday rendered
decision in the case of Dayton VS..
Dayton involving quarter section of
land now within the town Mlnits of Alb
erdeen, OAK. The decision afirms
that of Commissioner Sparks. and holds
that the contest of each of the Davtons

faith: The secretary directs that the
land be held in reservation for sixty
days in order that the city of Aberdeen
may present an application to enter the
land under the tOWnsite law.

CAUSING POLITICAL DISCUS.
SION.

The telegraphic dispatches show that
the death of Logan is causing a great
deal Of political discussion in the East.
In reply to a question, "Who will fill
Logan's placer" Senator Vest says:
"The Republicans have no one to fill
his place. His death means a loss Of
10000 to the Republican party in Hi
nois. If the Democrats cannot carry
that State now there is little excuse for
not doing SO. He was a host within
himself, and his strong leadership and
popularity in his party carried thousands
Of votes. Indiana was a Democratic
State on account OF the strong personal
ity and following of the late Vice Presi-
dent, and Illinois occupied the same po-
sition in regard to Logan. He was a
leader and a fighter, and would have put
the same intense force and spirit in a
contest anywhere from a Constable to
Senator. / do not think that Halstead's
attack on him affected him or had any.
thing to do with the melancholia which
rendered him an easy prey to disease,
but the publication of General Grants
letter about his (Logan's) probable un-
fa~ithfulness to the Republican party
hurt him very much. I know it affected
him and weighed on his mind"

IDAHO E

Hon. S. P. Hughes, member of the
Territorial Council Of Idaho, who was
here in the interests of annexation a few
days since, says the Carson Appeal,
asked the writer what steps had been
taken to induce immigration to this
State. When we informed him that none
had been taken he seemed considerably
surprised, and said that he wondered
that the State had never reached out for
more population.
"Idaho," he continued, "has never
systematized the thing, but will very
soon. Private firms have set forth the
advantages of our soil and climate, and
the Territory has filed up quite rapidly
compared to the growth Of population
here.
"We are now about to establish q
Board Of immigration to properly handle
the thing. A bill will be introduced
empowering the Governor to appoint
three Commissioners at a small salary,
of not over 500 a month and expenses,
to investigate the resources OF the Terri
tory, collect specimens of its ore, cereals,
agricultural products, etc., where they
can be seen by emigrants, and publish a
pamphlet embodying general information
relative to the resources of the Territory.
These will be printed and scattered
broadcast in the East. Colorado has
done this, and it had a magical effect on
the country. Nebraska and Kansas
built themselves up this way, and Idaho,
with better advantages, will be in the
ring next Summer to compete with these
States for it's share of the immigration.
Ten thousand a year spent this way is
money invested at big interest.
"My theory is that not one family in
ten which come West has the slightest
idea where they will settle. They see an
attractive description of land in this or
that locality, and conclude to 60 there
and grow up with the country.
"There has been a big rush to Califor-
MIA, but in my opinion California is no
place for a man of small means, land has
advanced to fabulous values, some bring
ing $1,000 per acre. These figures
brighten poor people and the tide is
flung back from the Pacific Coast to the
Territories lying between California and
Oregon, and the Rocky Mountains.
Here the climate is free from malaric in.
luence by reason of its altitude. the soil
is rich and cheap, there is no danger of
the cyclone, and all agricultural products
bring good prices. Then the climate on
the stretch Of country between the 81.
ezra and Rocky range is unsurpassed and
the ozone of the atmosphere is of great
benefit to persons suffering with pull
monary complaints. We propose to
boom Idaho with an Immigration Bureau,
and if you fellows don't do the same
you'll get left"
